So my logo has curves, and when I use it as a watermark in the gallery the curves are quite jagged.  Does anyone have any editing tips for getting a watermark with smooth curves?

I’ve never actually used the gallery module but is the image you are using as a watermark a GIF file by any chance?

If so then it may just be that your transparency on the GIF is not going to work on multiple different backgrounds. You would be better off (if your server software supports it) using a PNG with an alpha channel as you should get a precise soft outline then.

If you are already using a PNG then it may be something to do with your image processing software on the server perhaps?

Do you have a link to the image you are using for your watermark so that people here can see it?

Best wishes,

I am using a PNG, I’ve tried it with and without already having a transparency layer set already (using Photoshop).  There’s a bit of a shadow around the logo, but even if I remove it, it still just seems jagged over any picture I use it as a watermark on.  I’ll try and go setup an example (was using the preview mode within the gallery).

You know what, I was able to get my own transparency to work with a tip from here:

Excellent news! Sorry I didn’t come back on this one, have been away on my wedding anniversary for the past couple of days. 8 years now, wow time flies by!

Best wishes,
